Translation Race - KS4 School

This activity can be used for either French or Spanish at KS4. Students are given 5 sentences in English on the topic of school to translate into the target language in increasing difficulty. Vocabulary has been taken from AQA lists. They must work in groups or pairs to translate sentences one at a time getting them checked by you and correcting as quickly as possible. Full instructions are included in the document. This activity is fantastic for developing students writing and proof reading skills and for addressing common mistakes in an engaging fashion. Could be extended by asking students to pick a sentence and extending it as far as they can. Makes a good plenary task.
